Here are some situations you may experience with your
fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
•At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
•It takes a little more or less fuel tofill up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than half the tank’s
capacity tofill the tank.
•The gage goes back to empty when you turn off the
ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. SeeFuel on
page 5-4.

E-85 has less energy per gallon than gasoline, so you’ll
need to refill your fuel tank more often when using
E-85 than when you’re using gasoline. Regular unleaded
gasoline is recommended when pulling a trailer. For
payload capacity with ethanol fuel, seeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 4-58.
Notice:Some additives are not compatible with
E-85 fuel and may harm your fuel system. Damage
caused by additives wouldn’t be covered by
your new vehicle warranty. Don’t use additives with
E-85 fuel.
Notice:Your vehicle was not designed for fuel that
contains methanol. Don’t use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel
system and also damage the plastic and rubber
parts. That damage wouldn’t be covered under your
warranty.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
United States or Canada, the proper fuel may be hard
tofind. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel
not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper fuel wouldn’tbe
covered by your warranty.
To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or
contact a major oil company that does business in the
country where you’ll be driving.
Filling Your Tank
{CAUTION:
Fuel vapor is highly ammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don’t smoke if you’re near fuel or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, ames and smoking
materials away from fuel.

When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, then you’ll need to add at least one
quart of oil. But you must use the right kind. This part
explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase
capacity, seeCapacities and Specifications on
page 5-106.
Notice:Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows the proper operating
range, your engine could be damaged.The engine oilfill cap for
the VORTEC™4800,
5300, 6000 and 8100 V8
engine is located on
the engine valve cover, on
the passenger’s side of
the vehicle.
Your vehicle may have a cap with text and a graphic, or
just a graphic as shown. SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12for more information on location.
Be sure tofill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you’re through. All Other Engines
